Planktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different environmental factors including anthropogenically forced ocean and climate change. Until now…
Although many Quaternary records have allowed the study of major glacial-interglacial change in the … Southern Ocean, Holocene records from deep-sea cores are few and far between and are currently … limited to the South Atlantic. Low sedimentation rates combined with deep seafloors…
This study aims to determine the impact of ocean acidification on Southern Ocean pteropods via a detailed understanding of the structural properties of their shells. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)…
Adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the ocean alters the carbonate chemistry and lowers pH, making surface waters more acidic and decreasing the carbonate ions available to calcifiers for calcite and aragonite production.
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide has been accumulating in the … oceans, lowering both the concentration of carbonate ions … and the pH (ref. 1), resulting in the acidification of sea … water.
Anthropogenic CO2 added to the atmosphere during and since the industrial revolution is entering the global ocean. Addition of extra (anthropogenic) CO2 to the ocean changes the carbonate chemistry and the pH of the surface ocean…
Laboratory experiments suggest that decreased ocean carbonate-ion concentrations due to anthropogenic CO2 will result in reduced calcification rates in marine calcareous organisms.
